"there are certain drivers, hamilton in particular, but in the past alonso as well, and maurizio (arrivabene) knows this very well, who are very good at manipulating, and i use the word manipulating, the media and also a certain part of the garage. that's why they make these kinds of statements, which rightly aren't what you would expect from a driver. i think the attitude leclerc showed today when speaking to the media was much more appropriate: he simply explained what he had done, rather than someone who speaks up and says, ‘yes, but we should have done this, we should have done that.’ of course we should have done that, but leave that to the people whose job it is to make those decisions or speak about that." - Mario Miyakawa on the situation

"seb was right about charles" 2018: "if there’s no hype around him, then i don’t understand who should be hyped because you walk through all the categories like that, then you belong here" 2020 (seb leaving): "you are the most talented driver i came across in 15 years in f1" 2020: "i will miss charles. obviously he gave me a headache here and there, and we are at very different stages of our lives and careers. but he's certainly a good kid and i think he will go a long way, he will be the man of the future. i hope he gets the car he deserves." 2022: "i watched him and we got along really well, i think. i really enjoyed the time we spent together. he taught me some things, not necessarily about driving, but it was a little bit as if i was looking at my younger self, and it did take a little bit of time to understand that." 2022 (i think): "he beat me fairly. he was very fast. i think he will go a long way if he has the right equipment. we saw it immediately back” thank you :)
